Biofeedback is alternative medicine.
CBT is an effective method for certain people. It will not work for everyone (just depends on the diagnosis). I use it (not in therapy...on my own) along with therapy and meds.
The data for biofeedback's effectiveness in regards to psychological issues is inconclusive.
Biofeedback is also an expensive method.
There are many methods to 'treat' psychiatric problems, but this does not mean that all methods are equally valid.
There are a lot of patients who have been scammed by alternative treatments. It makes me very sad to read about people who are being strung along when the 'treatment' method is clearly not working.
